CVE-2026-24512 Details
Description
A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where the `rules.http.paths.path` Ingress field can be used to inject configuration into nginx. This can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the ingress-nginx controller, and disclosure of Secrets accessible to the controller. (Note that in the default installation, the controller can access all Secrets cluster-wide.)
A vulnerability exists in ingress-nginx versions prior to 1.13.7 and 1.14.3, where the 'rules.http.paths.path' Ingress field can inject configuration into Nginx. This injection could lead to arbitrary code execution within the context of the ingress-nginx controller and allow the disclosure of Secrets that the controller can access. By default, the controller has access to all Secrets across the cluster.
Users can upgrade ingress-nginx to version 1.13.7, 1.14.3, or any later version. For instructions on how to upgrade, refer to the 'Upgrading Ingress-nginx' documentation. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, this vulnerability can be temporarily mitigated by using a validating admission controller to reject Ingress resources that have the 'ImplementationSpecific' path type.
